C. O. NICHOLAS MOLD Filed April 6. 1925 6 Ell-NE looooooQgooooo/o 000000 1;... 00 com OOOOOO O OO 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 ATTORNEY iii invention relates to a confection to the n'iold for making the same, the gen *al nhiect oil the invention being to provide means for producing articles of elongated and composed of ice cream or the like with a filling: oi? other material.

Another OlljQCl) oi the invention is to pro means for molding the articles with a le hole for receiving the filling and with means tor facilitating the separation of the individual articles.

invention also consists in oer. other features of construction and in combination and arrangement of the seve" parts, to he hereinafter fully descrihed, trated in the accompanying draw' eoec fically pointed out in the ap c i in. descrioing my invention. in erencc -l he had to the acconn" drawings wherein like characters like or corresoonding parts throughout several views, and in which Figure 1 is plan view of the in i '1 figure 2 is a plan. view with the removed and parts broken away.

Figure 3 is a sectional view throng are it.

Figure .4: is a side view.

Figure 5 is a side View taken at right angles to Figure t.

Figure '8 is a section on line 6-6 of Fig ure 1.

Fig. 7 is a similar view with the parts in a dillerent position.

Figure 8 is a View showing the tray with the molded material thereon about to he placed in the cutting pan.

Figure 9 is a fragmentary sectional view through a portion of the molded material.

Figure 10 is a plan View of Figure 9. Figure ii is a perspective view oi a portion of one of the finished articles.

ln these views. 1 indicates the main receptacle which is provided with the vertical recesses 2 in two of its sides, and with the grinding lingers 3 on its opposite sides. This receptacle is closed by the cover t which carries the depending pins 5. Two opposing edges of the chver are provided with the notches 6 for receiving the fingers 3 and said cover is provided with the handles 7. A tray, composed of the plate 8 and the handle torming'strips 9, is adapted to he placed in the receptacle to hold the material being molded. The strips 9 have their lower ranged over each square on the Serial. lto. Q'Llhtl.

ends bent and connected with the bottom oil the plate and these strips engage the cesses 2 and their upper projectin port. torin guides for the cover l and thl poi. ends are bent into hook shape to receive the handle members 10 so that the tray can easily placed in the receptacle and removed therefrom. is provided with the two sets of grooves- 8" one set being arranged at right to the other set so that the surface of the plate is divided by these grooves into lurality of squares. A. top plate ll is pr ed with the projections 12 which are adapted to ennotches l8 torine in the in a l of the receptacle 3'. and to he l notches in; the latches "it which to the receptacle. This H with the circular holes l5 tlr the pins 5 pass one of these holes deli- The tray is placed in the recept then a sheet a of paper or the iii no on the bottom of the tray with its hent up to engage the side wallsof the Then the material from. which the articles are formed is placed in the and the top plate 11 put in position. Then the cover 4t is placed, its pins passing through the holes 15 in the top plate and ei'itering the material. spaced relation to the receptacle means at the bars 16 placed at each side of the device. The device is then placed in ice or in a freezing device where its contents will he frozen. After the material has heen properly frozen, the strips 16 are removed and top pressed down until it rests on the re ceptacle. This action will prevent the material from sticking to the pins when the pins are withdrawn toy the removal of the top or u l i I" I! cover. The cover is then removed and the plate ii is also removed. The handle merit hers 10 are then placed in engagement with The upper face of the plate 8.

This plate or cover 4; is held in like articles of ice cream or the like which is provided with a central hole for receiving a suitable filling. The shape of the article is such that it can be readily eaten by biting ofi pieces from an end thereof or the article can be sliced with a knife or the like and eaten this way It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

ll desire it to be understood that I may neamoa make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended. claim.

What I claim is A device of the class described comprising a receptacle, a tray adapted to be placed in the same and to receive the material to be frozen, said tray having grooves in its bottom which are arranged at right angles to each other to divide the bottom into squares, a top plate having perforations therein, each perforation being arranged over a square when the plate isin position, means for removably holding the plate in the receptacle, a cover plate for the receptacle, and depending pins thereon passing through the perforations into the material on the tray for forming holes in said material.

ltn testimony whereof I alhx my signature.

CHARLES O. NICHOLAS.
